Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's an interesting enough place, with a very long tomb with unclear lore, as there are multiple Umrans in Islamic mythology. However, in comparison with tombs in other Islamic countries, it's very austere and bare bones, and the very small space is inconvenient. I had to hop over some pilgrims in order to traverse the place.

The very long tomb (30 m) of the father or Maria, mother of Jesus... Situated in a little "oasis" in the center of Salalah, near a little mosque. Interesting and very strange,

Located within the city limits visit is easy. You will be surprised by the length of the tomb. Belief has it that Nabi was a 100 feet tall and hence the length. Some believe that some of the family members were also buried here lengthwise that added to the length.
Will be interesting for people with a religious / history inclination.

This is the tomb of Nabi Umran (A.S) also spelt Nabi Imran (A.S). It is located in the centre of Salalah city and is open 24 hours. The place is clean and there is a small mosque near it.

Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful garden very well looked after.
The length of the tomb amazes you as to how tall people were thousands of years ago.

We got lost for almost an hour not realizing the location would actually be in the middle of the city. When we finally arrived, we were exhausted yet relieved to see a part of our history. At the end of the tomb there is also a picture of the tomb back in the days.
The Area is well maintained and instructions are very clear.

Impressive and indeed very long tomb - I counted 73 tiles (about 12”length each tile)! Lot of local hype about the tomb, but I could not find any confirmation of the authenticity of hazmat Imran’s tomb. (Many Muslims divided about whether or not he was a prophet or a pious person).

Was so excited to visit the place finally after 1.5 year living in salalah, I loved how quiet and peaceful it is, however, didn’t like seeing people praying and for the grave.
Would be better if the government add few more informations about nabi imran history in both languages.that would be more beneficial to all visitors

A Man told me that this is not the real height as people don't know from where to where was the burial and another told me it is a grave of 4 people. It's good to see it as it is just within the city. Women need to be covering hair and have long skirts and not exposing shoulders if they want to go in.

This tomb is easily accessible with lots of sign boards and its inside the city.
As all religious locations, dressing decently is required to enter.
The tomb is not authentic of Prophet Imran, and the reason for the extraordinary length of the tomb is that they buried few family members at the same location.
Probably it was for a good man called Imran and they over the decades the got it confused with a prophet.
The visit is only 10 minutes, doesn't require more, and you won't miss much if you skip it.

Hi
Is a 4 Wheel Drive or SUV vehicle needed to get here or will a normal car be ok?
In general do I need to hire a 4 Wheel drive or SUV vehicle to look around salalah?
Written 8 August 2017
4W drive or SUV is not needed. Regular car would solve the purpose. Ofcourse, any given day, 4W is comfortable though.
Written 9 August 2017
No. When I went there was no entrance fee...
